Was a good win for England in the opening game, but the team were sloppy in mid game. Redeemed themselves in the end, well done England!! Credit to Fiji, they played well giving our boys a good run!

Lol, I get lumbered with the packing too, my Mrs is useless at it, which is a bit strange considering she spent half her working life as a tour guide traveling the world.

I remember when England won the Rugby world cup, I was really happy and I'm not even into Rugby, it does give that feel good factor when the nation does well.

But was it really that long ago, how time flies.

That seems like yesterday , I guess I'm not a true follower but it slightly amazes me how suddenly johnny Wilkinson seemed to disappear. ( after essentially winning us everything )

He didn't exactly disappear. He came back from several injuries in the years after 2003, to score all 12 points in the quarter, 9 of 14 points in the semi, and all 6 points in the 2007 final

He was still in the squad for the 2011 world cup and remains our highest points scorer, by some margin

Wilkinson latterly played his club rugby in France only retired 12 months ago, as he played abroad he wasn't selected for England national team.

He won everything at club level including European Championship (twice l think) he pretty much ran the show and unusually was hero worshiped by the French.

Can't believe what Japan are doing, level 10 minutes to go - what a great game

A good first half for England, some mistakes made by the other team.

One day this England team (and it's the whole team, from the captain down) will learn that it's their p!ss poor discipline that is costing them the big games
